Eagles WR Makai Lemon battled a hamstring injury during the offseason and "expectations should be tempered early" for the receiver, according to Tim McManus of ESPN.com.

Why it Matters: While the missed time could result in a slow start for Lemon, the path to a major role in the offense still exists. With Dontayvion Wicks as his main competition, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Lemon emerge as the No. 2 receiver in Philadelphia before the end of the season. Consider him a WR4 with plenty of upside.
